Probably not. Please suggest to extension authors to dual-publish their extensions to OpenVSX and VSMarketplace. So far all authors I engaged with were happy do to so (except for Microsoft of course, who are the only benefactor of this wallet garden situation).

I find that many of the extensions I use do dual publish. I also dual publish my own extension for people because walled gardens are not cool.
